Monday, October 3, 2011

I just want to be known as the best ever, is that too much to ask?__To be the best you gotta be one crazy son of a bitch…and that’s the truth__“You can’t make everyone happy no matter what. All I can do is live my life and try to be successful and please myself. I have my own morals I live by. Bill Cosby once said, ‘I don’t know the key to success but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.’ I agree with that. I live my life my way. I try to do the right thing, but I know there are going to be people who aren’t happy with what I do or say no matter what, so I’m not going to worry about it.”__I wasn’t used to me going places and the fans booing me. I really wanted to come back and show everybody that I am a fighter. Fighting is my life. (referring to life after losing to Georges St. Pierre)__

When I woke up this morning, I thought, ‘I’ve been at this thing a long time; what the hell am I doing? Then I realized this is my dream since I was a kid. (after defeating Kenny Florian)__I love to be the underdog. I haven’t been the underdog for a long time. Fighters who don’t believe I can win this fight, it’s simply because they don’t believe in themselves, that they could go out and beat a great champion at a higher weight. (before fighting GSP for the second time)__I’m just going to go out there and rush him real fast and just annihilate him. You know, like a lion just bites the head off — that’s what I’m going to do. (before defeating Joe Stevenson)__To me in this sport, it’s fighting, it’s mixed martial arts, and I feel there’s too many athletes and not enough fighters…I think these people going in taking these sports enhancement drugs, they’re not real fighters, they’re athletes. I’m a fighter. I’m a real fighter. That’s all I did my whole life.__What you put into it is what you’re going to get out of it. This thing is so big now, if you’re getting the chance to step into the octagon, you better be going full speed and give it everything you’ve got.”__I’m definitely looking for mega-fights and if Anderson Silva is one of them, why not shoot for the stars?
